Gangstar Mirage City beginner guide

Leave the failed bank heist

Homepage plot copy is blunt: after a failed bank heist the player leaves prison and must build a place in Rooklyn rather than inherit one from corpo 1%-ers. Orarra (some official character news also writes Aurora) is the corporate antagonist taking over the city. The opening beat is the failed job and the walk out of prison, not an open-world sandbox from the first loading screen. Mark leave-prison on the board when you have actually stepped into Rooklyn streets.

Store systems sit under that plot: customize a weapon collection, plan crew jobs, drive and shoot, and grow an underground business. None of those loops replace the scripted start. Community beginner pages describe a longer tutorial ribbon; this desk only keeps the four beats that official copy plus store systems actually name. If a later patch inserts extra onboarding steps, treat them as extra, not as a rewrite of the prison-to-Bobby spine.

Community minute-by-minute scripts exist on emulator blogs; they are not first-party walkthrough dumps and they are not copied here. If your client skips a UI panel the blogs mention, trust the official prison-to-street beat. Mark the board, then move. The jewelry-heist still is the picture of the job you are walking toward, not a DPS preview.

Follow Bobby, then steal a ride

Official profile: Bobby is the first partner-in-crime who knows every Rooklyn street and what Orarra did to the city. Homepage bio: a Rooklyn-born ride-or-die contact who hates Orarra’s control and walks the player through street rules. The YouTube tour of Rooklyn with Bobby (2r_gj3hUh5c) is the published walk, not a transcribed script. Follow him until the phone and jobs unlock; do not peel off into Allstar Arena or Director Mode during that beat.

A ride comes next. Publisher vehicle combat names shoot-and-drive, Digital Disruptor remote hijack, Sentry System, and Siege Plating. Store screenshots sell a Fight Lane drive at 79 km/h and a penthouse garage turntable. Steal or take the first car before you treat the mini-map as a sightseeing tour. Nigel later covers speed, style, and street-power vehicles; he is not the first-hour driver. Heat from early crimes is easier to dump before shops and heists if you already have a car.

Bobby hates Orarra’s control. That is the entire combat-class-free reason he is your first partner. The tour reel is flavor and geography, not a speedrun route. Steal the ride even if you plan to buy a supercar later; the first-hour instruction is to have a car before you roam. Nigel can wait.

Unlock crew jobs and the phone book

Crew jobs are the official co-op heist pillar: plan with a crew, hit bank vaults or high-security transports, leave on timing. C10ud is the digital-breach contact for those jobs. Charlie owns the Pink Flamingo nightlife world. Natalie founded The Ghosts after Orarra shut street racing down. Jackie watches books, deals, trades, and property. Pinpoint is a thin official bio: one call, one target. None of them are published combat classes.

1.0.0 also adds emotes, Beauty Salon makeup, Notoriety penalties for open-world PvP, Trailblazers, and the Drop Anchor pass. Those unlocks sit after the first-hour spine. Director Mode records in-game movies; it is a UGC toy, not the tutorial. When the four checklist rows are pressed, move to Co-op heists for the four-player vault seats or Street modes to filter tonight’s event. The board remembers the four beats in local storage across reloads.

Once crew jobs unlock, the four-player vault seats are on Co-op heists. Do not farm Notoriety or Allstar Arena as a substitute for that unlock. Beauty Salon makeup is a 1.0.0 toy on the same patch list as emotes; it is a style screen, not a combat buff table. Press all four checklist rows so the board can show 4 / 4 sealed first-hour beats after reload.

After the four beats

Go to Street contacts if you need to match a name to a job. Go to Factions only for flavor, not for a hidden XP multiplier. Go to Street modes to see whether Fight of the Bites or Taxi Takeover is the live tile. Go to Soft launch if the store icon is missing in your country. The first-hour desk does not include a loot route, a daily list, or a map of collectibles, because those were not in the sealed official copy.

If you die in the opening heist beat, the plot still starts after the failed job; it is not a wipe that erases Bobby. If you already pre-registered, 300 Diamonds and vehicle mail wait in the mailbox after you exist as a character — that is Empire, not a first-hour requirement.
